What are good alternatives to self-hosting e-mail? !fediverse !privacy !security

- mmn, Roland Häder and Benedikt Geißler repeated this.

riseup.net. Or knowing someone who does self-hosting ;-)
-
there's that guy who shut down his business due to getting a national security letter. find someone like him.
-
bottom line, if you trust a 3rd party for email, your only hope on top of trust is to use end-to-end email encryption

@netmackan fripost.org!

@netmackan Selfhost: at home or on a server with a good uptime?
-
@postblue my server at home has a good uptime, considering i reboot it from time to time when kernels are updated.
-
@npze I can remember that many years ago there as a #hack to "hot-swap" the #kernel. But I think it is been become unmaintained. And oh #BZW, I don't need my self-hacked kernel for my hardware anymore. Running here a #Debian default one. I had to slow down #UDMA links to avoid #DMA read problems.
-
When you host at home and you don't have a fix IP address at home, you need to configure a relay host. There, you can use any smtp server you trust.
-
@nds yes, else the 3rd party is able to read your emails as they are stored like postcards in a huge box and organized by user names.
-
@roland there's been 3 or 4 implementations for hot kernel patching. I believe Red Hat and Oracle had their own versions…
-
@roland the said kernel being shared with all the containers I use, it is far beyond my hacking abilities.
-
@netmackan I randomly heard from someone once that fastmail is good. It's not a behemoth, either.
-
@npze same here. :)
-
@nds @netmackan I've been using FastMail since at least 2004. I've never had anything but great service from them and can't recommend them enough. No free tier but no ads hence no need to spy on you.
-
@netmackan @atarifrosch Been using riseup for a long while. especially their VPN service, no issues what so ever.
-
@benmezger @kat Ah yes, autistici, I use some of those services too, works very well.
-
@benmezger They do, but it's a bit limited. every 7 days you have to download new certificate, and low-traffic only. I run everything on full blast through riseup's 'black' vpn from my house, so the other one is not a option for me.
